Cruelty isn't efficient but there's a persistent belief it should be. The stock market routinely rewards unprofitable cruelty. Ppl believe deeply that evil and ruthlessness pays off even in the face of evidence to the contrary.

This was the chalkboard gag the week after they got dropped from the spokesman gig.

The Simpsons doing this joke and immediately getting dropped by Butterfinger is so funny.
Officer Eddie hauling a pile of Butterfingers to a fire.

"All right, time to throw in the Butterfingers."The Butterfingers in the fire. They jump out of the fire. 

Eddie: Hmm, it's not even singed. Wiggum: Even the fire doesn't want them.

BREAKING: Israel snatched an American teen from his West Bank home in the middle of the night — just days before his birthday and during his critical national exams. He's now been held for 3 months, with no charges. Netanyahu just came to the US for the *eighth* time since Trump took office.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door inadvertently depicts Peach as the quickest typist in the world. She is able to type up a 126-word email in exactly 3 seconds, making her 8 times faster than the current typing speed world record.
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Peach sends multiple emails to Mario during the plot. Almost all of them take her exactly 3 seconds to type.
The length of the emails she types in 3 seconds varies from 54 words to the longest one seen below, at 126 words.
Peach: I'm OK
My Dearest Mario, I send this letter in the hope that it reaches you safely. I am being held against my will in some strange place. Though I do not know where I am, I remain unharmed and in relative comfort.
Those who have captured me seem to be after the map I sent to you earlier. They may be hoping to use it to find objects they call the "Crystal Stars." I do not know what they are planning, but I have a feeling it is not anything positive.
Mario, please collect these Crystal Stars before they do. You must! They are already aware that you have the map, so please be very careful.
And please... Don't worry about me.
-Princess Peach-
At the current world record typing speed of 319 words per minute, Peach should have been able to get about this far into the email.
In order to finish the email in three seconds, she needed to type with an a speed of 2520 words per minute, 7.9 times the world record.
While the quick typing is clearly merely a way to make the scene move along more quickly and should not be taken as accurate depiction of Peach's typing skills, it is still humorous to imagine the implications arising from it if taken at face value.

Humans of course don't need masturbating as much as they need water, but as far as what's dangerous or unhealthy for humans: Watching porn is exactly as bad for you as the brain worms you let inside your head tell you it is and not a single iota more.

"Porn addition" is literally the Immortan Joe bit about growing addicted to water. Yes it's true, you can in fact cause people to become ashamed of natural, healthy urges if you give them an entire complex of shame around it.

And I get the same vibe from AI proponents; They simply don't understand art, and think it's beneath them. They don't understand the appeal, they come from a techbro mindset and think art is a solved equation and anything that isn't photorealistic or extremely high detail is failing at the goal.

The cluelessness of this reminds me a lot of the NFT grift. The thing about NFTs was that it was mainly something finance bros were into, and when they were trying to worm their way into gaming, their pitches were an abyssal trench of bad ideas because they couldn't grasp why people played games.

Calling something “illegal” only matters if the law is actually enforced. Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court need to enforce it. No president should be free to ignore the law to punish enemies, reward allies, and enrich himself.

omfg shut up. the whole point of having invented sandboxes and airgapped testing environments roughly forever ago was that yes it was assumed and known that a program can just go and be a virus elsewhere if you let it why do you think they are called viruses
The problem is that until VERY recently, it was not accepted that it was possible for a bunch of machines to escape virtual captivity, illicitly communicate, collectively strategize, and hack real-world systems.
